Trying to protect the glass and seats from my wayward angle grinding.

This weekend mainly consisted of more task to get the wagon mot ready. Chopped out the old seat belt mount.

With these out the way should have plenty of room

Prior to doing some repair upfront near the ecu/fuse boards and relays. This maybe a stupid question but just looking for some confirmation. Im going to remove the superlock box and this ground point which is for the fuse board to give myself space to work and mimimise the chase of me making a...

Indeed. Lets hope i dont end up with a smoldering mess on my drive.:jump

More rain last night so more chance for investigation. You can see the two areas that have rusted away and letting water throught. Look like they will be fun area to repair :lol

You can see the seam where both panels join. Either the sealer has failed or the previous repairs to the arch have diverted water down this way. Will have to check from the engine bay to work a cure out. If you are getting a wet floor worth checking this area too. An definatly before your...

Had a wet drivers footwell and have pulled up evertything to deal with the rot the leak has caused. You can se the damage it has done over time. Carpets are all up at the monent and last night js the first rain we have had in a while so prime oppourtunity to find the cause. Above the sound...

On my 2.7 I used 10mm id for the flow but there was space to play, nothing the clips couldnt deal with so 8mm would be a perfect fit. Im sure the return was 6mm. Ill have a double check.

Im down in Milton Keynes tdoug. Thanks for the offer but might be a bit far for me to collect:thumb2

Will see if my local scrap man has anything on offer. Failing that blocking the area off with soldering mats, hardwood boards and maybe a wet towel or two will hopefully help. Looks like the previous repairs were very lucky as some of the loom in that area has melted wrap but the wires...

Managed to get a few used heat mats that gas fitters/plumbers use should offer me some protection but id rather not rely on those solely if I can help it.

Im pretty much where you are. That seat belt mount is my first and only body repair. Luckily the pieces only needed to be flat to fix it. Going to see how much wireing can be moved before I start cutting and melting anything.

Ecu side has a similar repair but no wear near the drivers side. Any advice people can offer and these repairs would be appreciated. As really I have no idea except for cut out the rot and put new bits in. Things like how to protect all the wiring when welding down there? Should I be taking...

Arch panel

To put this right properly is going to be alot off work. So as the arch is solid atm it can wait. Inside and this corner first.

A previous repair has been attempted but im thinking this may have contributed to the issues at the front. A plate has been welded ontop of everything else in the arch. Wether how this has been fitted or maybe sothing is blocked the floor was drenched down there. Again ill have to fix what I...

Most of the rot is that front corner from in the car, it has rotted all along that seem. To the transmission tunnel. Smashing it from the top down with hammer and driver, the panel further back is solid. But the front is rotten underneath too. I attached the body mount under there which was...

The only thing I can do is start getting it ready to be fixed. So off with more sound deadening to see whats going on.

Front end of the floor pan is not in good condition.
